following successful completion of an<br />
approved ADR training course and then will<br />
be subsequently valid for 5 years. Please<br />
note that any driver holding an ADR licence<br />
must complete a refresher training course<br />
before the expiry.<br />
Vehicle recovery operators would need<br />
to allow for both segments to be covered<br />
to be able to offer a complete service in<br />
this field, otherwise, being able to move<br />
or extricate a vehicle that requires an<br />
ADR licence would not be possible unless<br />
(A) it’s the correct licence type or (B) it is<br />
supervised by the emergency services. If<br />
the vehicle is moved whilst supervised by<br />
the emergency services, potentially ADR<br />
exemption 1.1.3.1 9d0 could apply. If the<br />
driver possesses the correct licence, then<br />
a new ‘transport unit’ would be formed<br />
and conventional regulations would apply.<br />
The towing vehicle would need to carry the<br />
front orange plate otherwise if you haven’t<br />
the relevant trim plate onboard your<br />
vehicle, the vehicle should be moved the<br />
minimum distance to a safe place, pending<br />
further arrangements.<br />
Operators can gain ADR accreditation<br />
through the IVR who use an external<br />
training company to implement the course.<br />
You should also consider, VR21 and VR 31<br />
if you don’t have staff members already<br />
trained in these modules.<br />
